Account
Checking the water supply for her family's horses, Diana Johnson found a 21-inch by 10 inch footprint "embedded in a frozen stream" to a depth of 1.5 inches. There were woods several hundred yards to the East. Her sister took pictures of it. Warmer temperatures next day quickly melted out details.
